Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Baulk Line as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
The baulk line is a straight line drawn from the face of the bottom cushion on a snooker table. It is similar to the head string on a regular pool table. On a cushion, the baulk line is drawn 73.66 centimeters or 29 inches from the face of the bottom cushion. It can be considered the head string which is actually drawn on the table's cloth. The baulk line is not to be confused with the game of balkline, which is known as a carom game.
That red that is sitting just behind the baulk line is getting in the way of Jim potting his next shot.
